So it begins

After having posted my sixth story, I've decided to build a proper User Page for myself so readers can more easily check me out. I'll be making blog posts as stuff happens, and would love to have comments, questions and suggestions about myself, my writing/reading habits, and my stories. This first blog post will be pretty short, since anything I'd put here can already be found in the bio I whomped up. You can go read that, if you like.

And yes, I know that selfish attention seeking is bad. I know that wanting to hit the front page or featured box is a terrible motivation. I know that I should love writing for it's own sake... and believe me, I do. But it's also perfectly healthy to want a readership, to interact with a community of equals, and to seek help from the masters you admire. Nobody exists in a vacuum.

Are you a prolific writer/reader who uses your blog/user-page regularly? What makes it useful, and what's a waste of time? If you're reading this, please let me know. I'd certainly appreciate it!
